Popis: Study Design Prospective radiographic comparative study. Purpose To compare and understand the load-bearing properties of each functional spinal unit (FSU) using three commonly assumed, physiological, spinal postures, namely, the flexed (slump sitting), erect (standing) and extended (backward bending) postures. Overview of Literature Sagittal spinal alignment is posture-dependent and influences the load-bearing properties of the spine. The routine placement of intervertebral cages “as anterior as possible” to correct deformity may compromise the load-bearing capabilities of the spine, leading to complications. Methods We recruited young patients with nonspecific low back pain for
